1Password – Standalone licenses vs. new subscription service

I'd be surprised if any features were removed from the current standalone version. So basically, until need a software upgrade, either for compatibility or feature reasons, there are no issues.

1password major versions always cost money, so the only added cost is that of switching. With the current data-format of 1password being open-source, that shouldn't be that hard.

As for alternatives, last time I looked (~3 months ago, when I was in the market for a password manager) I chose 1password because of their superior browser plugins. The contending alternatives were: - keepass (open source) - lastpass - dashlane

I wouldn't be surprised if features were removed in a version or two. The have negative incentive to maintain working dropbox synching code, since now it's competition for their main product.

Even if they don't remove the feature, what are the odds it gets any love and continues to work well?

Bitrot is a real thing. Most software needs a little bit of love to continue working as the world around it changes.
